Riley, the not-quite-two year old that I live with, is slowly learning new words. When I moved in, his vocabulary seemed to be limited to "Ball!" and Momma and Daddy (exclamation point intended... his favorite activity for quite a while was to point at all the ball-shaped objects in the room and shout "Ball!!" at the top of his lungs).
